Sint-Annatunnel Left Bank Entrance

Highlight • Monument

The Sint-Annatunnel or pedestrian tunnel was constructed in 1931-1931 as a connection between the left and right banks. The access and ventilation buildings on both banks of the Scheldt were designed by E. Van Averbeke. Full description and history at inventaris.onroerenderfgoed.be/erfgoedobjecten/216718

As the information board (see photos) indicates, the tunnel, including both entrance buildings and the entire original technical equipment, has been protected as a monument since 1997.

Antwerp City Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

The town hall is on the list of the UNESCO world cultural heritage. The town hall is a Renaissance building, designed by the architect Cornelis Floris De Vriendt. It was built between 1561 and 1564. The town hall is mainly built in the Renaissance style, but the middle section is already reminiscent of the Baroque. After the thorough restoration in 2018-2022, the town hall is a contemporary, sustainable and open house of government. After the restoration, the town hall is an open house, an icon of valuable immovable heritage on the Grote Markt.

Bonaparte Dock, Antwerp

Highlight • Monument

Napoleon wanted to develop Antwerp as a war port to defeat England. In 1803 he gave the order to build two docks in the Nieuwstad. Under the leadership of Engineer Mengin, two rivers were drained and the Boerenkwartier demolished. 2000 workers and prisoners of war excavated more than 1,000,000 m³ of soil. On January 1, 1811, the first ship entered the dock through the Bonapartes lock. After the fall of Napoleon, the docks were given a trading function. William I donated them to the city. From 1903, the Klein Dock was renamed the Bonaparte dock, which is today a museum dock.

Sint-Annatunnel

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

I forgot that I had planned this highlight at the end of my tour. Almost as a moral support by anticipation of something cool after my 250-kilometer tour. Therefore, I was quite lost on the banks of the Scheldt and looked for a ferry, until the tunnel came to my mind again. So over on the other side of the street where the entrance is. It all reminded me of the old Elbtunnel in Hamburg. This one is just longer and the escalator is definitely cooler than the elevator. Unfortunately, this drove only until 20 clock, if I remember correctly, so that it was then but a lift ... Otherwise, the tunnel is open 24 hours. Cool thing!

Sint-Annatunnel Entrance

Highlight • Bridge

The Sint Anna Tunel, built between 1931 and 1933, is a pedestrian and cycle tunnel which passes under the Scheldt and provides access to Antwerp from the other bank of the river.
An Art Deco side, its escalators a mix of steel and wood, a surrealist atmosphere...
An absolute must-have!
Worth the detour...
